Top Counters
Shadows and Megas won’t be listed. They’re not necessary to take down a T1 in good time, and Shadow Pokémon are incredibly expensive to power up. However, if you have any of the listed Pokémon as shadow forms, they’re of course better.

Dedenne has the potential to be quite spammy, but all Ground types can shrug off its rapid-fire discharges. Excadrill resists all its moves if you have one.
Conclusion
Dedenne is an interesting little corebreaker in the Great League of PvP, comparable in bulk to either Raichu. Check out JRESeawolf’s article about it for more details.
Stay safe, trainers!
